I'm not sure if you need Control with Sooloos. There are other options, ie PC and iPhone for control. If you are looking for quality audio playback, then Ensemble plus a disc may meet this requirement alone - IIRC Ensemble about �3k which is M DVD player territory.

If a video playback/multi channel (although without Control:10/20, you would rely on third party devices to rip) option was added, that did not add hugely (under �1k) to the cost, then I see the potential killer app.
